Joe Dudash, Colorado Divrsion of Minerals and Geology specialist assigned to <br />this facility provided verbal comments. He indicated that the portion of Deer Trail Ditch iNO which discharge from <br />Pond C would flow runs into Fire Mountain Cana! within a short distance. The outfall from Pond C fs outfa11002 and <br />may contain mine drainage. The knowledge that this diversion occurs would not affect the specifications in the permit <br />and this rationale of the receiving water, since these specifications indicate the immediate waxer into which the discharq <br />goes. Also, the issue of effluent from this facility going into Fire Mountain Canal, a privately owned canal, is a matter <br />between owners of the Deer Trail Ditch and [hose of Fire Mountain Canal since the Deer Trail Ditch has control over <br />the water prior to its entering Fire Mountain Canal. The primary relevance of this fact to this permit is the point that <br />effluent would flow within a second private waterway prior to entering state waters, the North Fork ojthe Gunnison <br />River. The point of confluence 6enveen Fire Mountain Cana! and the North Fork of the Gunnison River is much fanher <br />away than the point of confluence between Deer Trail Ditch and the river. This would decrease the potential jot any <br />impact on the river from this discharge. <br />Jon C. Kubfc <br />December 22, 1998 <br />~• <br />
